Chapter 24 I'll Be Your Bodyguard
Three hours later, the three battalion commanders of the Independent Regiment assembled at the regimental headquarters.
Wang Yousheng followed Li Yunlong, and with a quick glance, he could clearly see the situation of the three battalion commanders of the Independent Regiment.
Battalion Commander Chen Yi, in his twenties, had served in the army for many years, was experienced in combat, and was skilled in defense.
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan was skilled at ambushing and capturing pillboxes, and he had an artillery platoon under his command.
Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao is a talented individual. The soldiers in the Third Battalion have the best firepower in the entire regiment, and there is also a spearhead platoon that excels in assault operations.
At this moment, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were discussing how to deal with the Japanese company.
Don't underestimate the Japanese just because they are only a company of two hundred men. Their combat skills are very high, their shooting is accurate, and this time they are carrying heavy weapons. They are a tough opponent.
Kong Jie glanced at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, the Japanese are approaching our regimental headquarters; they want to kill us. What do you say we do?"
"Fuck him!"
"Yes! First Battalion, hold the pass ten miles outside the village entrance. Third Battalion, outflank the enemy from behind and wait for an opportunity. Second Battalion, ambush in the mountain stream to the right of the village entrance. As soon as the Japanese enter the encirclement, give them a good beating!"
"yes!"
Throughout the entire process, Li Yunlong didn't say much, clearly indicating that Kong Jie's arrangements were the same as Li Yunlong's expectations.
After the three battalion commanders left, Li Yunlong said with a smile, "Old Kong, not bad, it's been half a year and your combat experience has improved."
Kong Jie took out his pipe, took a puff, and said disdainfully, "You think I'm a fool? After fighting so many wars, do you think I've been a regimental commander for nothing?"
"Cough cough, not bad, not bad. When we charge into battle later, I'll be your bodyguard, hehe."
"Alright, alright, Lao Li, there's something I need to tell you beforehand."
"speak!"
Kong Jie chuckled and said, "The Second Battalion's firepower is insufficient, so your batch of equipment may have to be repurposed."
"Um???"
Li Yunlong's tiger-like eyes narrowed, thinking to himself that this old Kong really knew how to pick his time.
However, Li Yunlong didn't think much of it and immediately replied, "Okay, you can take it and use it first. Anyway, I have an IOU, and you'll have to pay it back later."
"Alright! A whole company of Japanese soldiers, done! Now I, Kong Jie, can celebrate the New Year too!"
At the village entrance, the three battalions began their maneuver outwards.
Wang Yousheng stood at the village entrance and surveyed the terrain, realizing that Kong Jie really knew how to choose a location.
Ahead was a small valley pass, the only way to enter the village. The 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Independent Regiment ambushed the Japanese soldiers from the front and sides of the pass, while the 3rd Battalion flanked from behind.
If we have sufficient firepower, wiping out an enemy squadron shouldn't be a problem.
Tiger Pavilion Outpost!
The Japanese First Company had set off an hour earlier, and the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade followed closely behind.
The commander of the Second Regiment was Ichiro Fujita, who had just received orders from Yoshio Shinotsuka to assist the First Company in eliminating the Eighth Route Army.
Generally speaking, reinforcements are either deployed simultaneously or sent to reinforce when the situation turns unfavorable. However, this method of troop reinforcement is baffling.
Yoshio Shinotsuka's intention was clear: he decided to first deploy a regiment of troops to test the Eighth Route Army's reaction.
The Second Regiment's combat capability was no less than that of the First Regiment of Sakata, and the soldiers in the unit were all elite troops transferred from the Kwantung Army.
In Liuchen Village, the soldiers lay in ambush on the hillside and at the pass, waiting for the advance troops of the Japanese to break in.
Generally, the Japanese would send out a motorcycle squad to scout ahead, and only allow the rest of the troops to follow once the road was clear.
At this moment, the enemy's motorcycle squad had already crossed the pass.
On the hillside, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong observed carefully, their weapons loaded.
At the same time, Wang Yousheng's "golden finger" also sent a message.
[Initial detection: Aftershocks of combat detected within 1000 meters]
[Battle Overview: A Japanese company of troops is approaching]
"Commander Kong, they're here!" Wang Yousheng said excitedly in a low voice.
Kong Jie nodded and immediately urged the soldiers, "Pass down the order: don't move! Let the Japanese get past first, then attack when the rest come up!"
"yes!"
Boom boom boom...
A few minutes later, the Japanese motorcycle squad crossed the pass. Down the mountain, the Japanese had stopped advancing and were only two hundred meters away from the soldiers on the mountain.
"Yosh! I've spotted a village ahead. Reporting back to the company commander, everything is normal."
The Japanese captain glanced at Liu Chen Village in the distance through his binoculars and chuckled.
"Hai!"
Ten minutes later, the Japanese infantry finally arrived, a whole company of them.
"They're here!"
Immediately, Kong Jie raised a Type 38 rifle in his hand.
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced the chest of a Japanese soldier.
The battle has begun!
In an instant, the soldiers on the hillside and at the pass responded and sprang into action, firing machine guns, rifles, and grenades incessantly.
The artillery platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment fired three grenade launchers simultaneously, firing several shells within a minute, instantly crushing the enemy's vanguard.
A surprise attack is the most deadly!
[Battle Reward: One battalion of soldiers fought bravely and eliminated 20 Japanese soldiers within one minute, earning +200 points.]
The 2nd Battalion Artillery Platoon successfully hit a Major, earning +200 points and +20 merits.
】
Wang Yousheng's points kept increasing rapidly. He glanced at them and saw that he already had over 20,000 points. By the end of this battle, he would have at least 30,000 points.
The Japanese were completely stunned, having no idea that the Eighth Route Army had such strong firepower.
The first two squads were wiped out instantly!
Soon, the Japanese soldiers set up a defensive formation.
Type 92 heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and infantry guns attacked the Eighth Route Army's positions one after another.
The battle was brutal; the enemy suffered casualties, and so did the Eighth Route Army.
Under the enemy's heavy firepower, the battalion guarding the front line suffered heavy losses.
"You son of a bitch!"
As Kong Jie watched his soldiers die one by one before his eyes, his heart ached so much that his eyes welled up with tears.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong said, "Old Kong, have your artillery squad move up and take out the enemy's artillery positions first. This will reduce casualties."
"Um!"
Kong Jie immediately ordered, "Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your grenade launcher squad? Get them there right now and take out the Japanese artillery positions behind them!"
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan immediately responded.
He personally led the artillery platoon!
Seeing that Shen Quan had already advanced in a flanking maneuver towards the enemy, Kong Jie immediately ordered, "First Battalion, suppressive fire! Advance two hundred meters to cover the artillery advance!"
The enemy's artillery position was 300 meters behind them. Without advancing, Shen Quan's artillery squad couldn't hit them at all.
"yes!"
Bang bang bang!
The fierce fighting continues.
At this critical moment, Wang Yousheng exchanged for a Level 1 bugle card and threw it into the air to the bugler in front of the battle.
At the same time, the bugler of the Independent Regiment immediately sounded the charge!
"Tick-tock tick-tock, tick-tock tick-tock..."
The stirring bugle call resounded through the void, and the soldiers of the First Battalion rose up in anger!
